Houston has the best eye cancer centers in the country.

This might be the worst comparative argument I've ever read.

Explain. Again, both aren't preventible, especially cancers like retinoblastoma in children. So, I assume, you think it's okay to make a joke rooted in someone's child having cancer, but not okay to make a joke rooted in someone's child being retarded?

HUge difference between CHOOSING where you want to go as a FA and being traded. Besides, his daughter might be completely healed at this point. I was one of the biggest Fisher critics and called him disingenuous on a few occasions. But it's time to let it go, especially since this was a trade.

You are right, I am wrong.
I take it all back.
I also have now changed my mind about Fisher.

Thank you.
 
Who is Fisher?

From what I've seen, the lakers have been rollin without a PG and SF all season long.
 
What's intriguing is the last 2 notable trades with the Lakers were made by Memphis's Jerry West, and now Byron Scott of the Cavs. Both former guards for... none other than the LA Lakers. West's trade netted them Pau Gasol. I used to kinda like Sessions, thought we could use him. Now I have to hate him and hope he s..ks...

It is a free country and he had every right to make the joke. Just like I have every right to call him out for making a classless joke. I have no problem with Bean, none. But that was pretty stupid and thoughtless.

Beings that we all have such easily accessibility to information, you should know that the Pau trade was orchestrated by Chris Wallace
 
I laughed. The joke isn't funny because of cancer - it's funny because of Fisher's pleading to go to a New York city for their treatment center (which ended up being LA). And now heartless LA trades him away from a city that was treating his daughter (or was she still being treated in NYC anyway?)
When I heard he was traded to Houston my first thought was - Will he now ask Leslie Alexander to let him out of his contract, again for the sake of his daughter?

I hate Fisher. I hated that the Jazz traded Owens and Mcleod for him - That's how much I hated him. I hated seeing him in a Jazz uni and I was glad he wiggled his way out of his Jazz contract. But I still hate him, on or off the team. Him and Kobe are the two people that will keep me out of heaven. It has nothing to do with his daughter.

But in spite of the hate, the critique I have with the joke is that it is sooooo an hour and 45 minutes ago.
